flesh lights - muscle pop

THE FLESH LIGHTS are another great band from the texas punk rawk scene that brought us the bad sports and the marked men.......  their new lp MUSCLE POP is a garage stomp / scuzz punk thrasher that'll make you wanna turn up the volume, pogo around and kill a six pack........

the flesh lights follow in that great tradition of fuzzed out fast riotous punk propagated by bands like the RIP OFFS and OBLIVIANS........  and if i can compare the FLESH LIGHTS to those two bands, that means i like them quite a bit......  their lp is a dark horse contender for one of the best of the year.........

read what permanent records has to say about the new FLESH LIGHTS lp.......

Pop INDEED! This Austin, TX trio crank out the garage-punk in a MAJOR way! We picked up a few of these LPs from the band when they came thru town on tour and were sure glad we did - this is some serious ear candy for the auditory sweet tooth! On their debut LP (after a couple of singles & an inclusion on Matador's Casual Victim Pile comp), The Flesh Lights grind out hi-energy rock that's kinda garage-y & kinda punky, but laced with some serious pop-hooks - imagine the Oblivians jamming with the Exploding Hearts and you'll start to get the idea – muscle pop is an apropos title, for sure. Many of the tunes are R&B based, with swaggering bass lines running all over your face, with a penchant for smarmy lyrical wordplay that probably wouldn't fly if these guys weren't so young, enthusiastic, and full of piss & vinegar. There are some seriously irresistible hooks in these grooves & these youngsters knack for a catchy tune is what elevates this album above the ever-growing stack of garagepunk or garage/punk releases coming out these days. We caught 'em at SXSW in 2011 and they were super tight! Great record - snag it & bag it! RECOMMENDED!
